 mt=151  Resolved resonance parameters                            
   Resolved parameters for MLBW formula were given in the energy  
   region from 1.0e-5 eV to 520 keV.  Parameters were taken from  
   the recommended data of BNL/1/ and the data for a negative     
   resonance were added so as to reproduce the recommended thermal
   cross sections for capture and scattering/1/.  The data for    
   some levels were modified so that the calculated total cross   
   sections of the element Mg were fitted to the experimental data
   of Hibdon/2/ and Singh/3/.  The scattering radius was assumed  
   to be 5.4 fermi.  Calculated 2200 m/sec cross sections and     
   resonance integrals are as follows:

  Below 520 keV, no background cross section is given and all the 
  cross-section data are reproduced from the evaluated resolved   
  resonance parameters with the MLBW formula.                     
  Above 520 keV, the total and partial cross sections are given in
  the pointwise form.
